Warehouses

Warehouses are your own storage locations. Malovex uses them to track the stock you hold yourself — the inventory you sell before drawing on your suppliers. If you only ever sell straight from supplier stock, you can leave warehouses alone; they matter once you start holding your own inventory.

You’ll find them under Sales Channels → Warehouses.

Your default warehouse

Every account has a Main warehouse to start with. It’s created automatically the first time you need it, so you never begin with nothing. Any stock you set without choosing a specific location goes here.

The default warehouse is marked with a Default flag, and its code is fixed — you can’t rename its code or delete it, because your existing stock records point at it.

Adding a warehouse

If you hold stock in more than one place, add a warehouse for each location.

1. On the Warehouses page, select New warehouse.

2. Enter a name (for example, “Riga store” or “Central depot”). Malovex suggests a code from the name automatically.

3. Adjust the code if you like. It’s a short, stable identifier attached to every stock record for that location, so pick something you won’t want to change later. Each code must be unique within your account.

4. Optionally fill in the address, city, postal code and country.

5. Choose whether this warehouse should be the default — the one new stock records use when no location is chosen.

6. Save.

About the code

The code sticks to every stock record at that location, so it can’t clash with another warehouse’s code. Choose it carefully — treat it as permanent.

Units on hand

The warehouses list shows a Units on hand figure for each location: the total stock you’re holding there across all products. It’s a quick way to see which locations actually carry inventory.

To set stock for a specific product at a warehouse, use Adjust stock on that product — see Your Own Stock.

Deleting a warehouse

You can delete any warehouse except the default one. To keep your stock figures honest, Malovex won’t let you delete a warehouse that still holds inventory:

Empty it first

If a warehouse still has units on hand, deletion is blocked with the message “Warehouse still holds stock.” Set that warehouse’s stock to zero on every product first, then delete it. Malovex won’t silently move or zero your units for you.
